Drug Consumption Patterns, Sexual Behavior and HIV Risk Among Low-Income Drug Users in Guatemala City

The authors concluded: "In sum, this drug user population in Guatemala City is at heightened risk of HIV, although some of the risk results from overlap with vulnerability experienced as members of groups at heightened risk, such as gay/bisexual men, transgender women, and sex workers. Future HIV programming should expand to include HIV prevention in drug programs and drug prevention/treatment in HIV prevention activities."
